I was trying to find out if there was a single word to mean the bumper at the end of a parking spot. [Sunny Brook Pressed Concrete] Parking bumper is a little unwieldy, and wheel chock seems to be more about airplanes or trailers than general parking spaces.
Teddy bears are, of course, named after US President Theodore Teddy Roosevelt. The name came about after a 1902 hunting expedition. The hunt had found no game, so at the end of the day someone brought out a baby bear and suggested that Roosevelt might like to shoot it instead.
You have it backwards. The teddybear was named after the President. There are two theories on this; President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was Teddy, enjoyed big game-hunting. According to legend, the teddy bear received its birth at Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
